ZyBeR 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Hi there, I'm interested in the Montbrilliant Datora, after searching the net a few days I have found a couple of versions of the watch. Two of them that looks good, one really good IMHO. Best I found is this: More info here 2nd good one with a better price tag: Sorry but these guys uses an image loading script so I can't link in the images. Just click on the link below. More info here Has anyone ordered from watch88.com or swisswatcheszone.com before? watch88.com has some crazy cheap watches under "Asian Replicas" we are talking ~€50/each! How bad can those ones be? Can you guys please advice me on witch one to get, perhaps you know any even better replicas I should get instead? Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted August 21, 2009 Ahh, the first looks good because it's a gen photo! About $100 over priced for a good one and prob 200 for the one you will recive. The second site is still $322 which is too much. Both sites are full of lies, it won't be a Swiss 7750 for starters as that MVT is worth more than they want for the watch. It is not 316L SS, no rep is and even the gen isn't. Only Rolex use 316L. It doesn't have have DBL AR but neither does the gen.It in fact has no AR at all! Look at the photos far too much reflection for AR.. It won't have 2 yrs warrenty, the site won't be around in 2 years. The above applies to both sites. Both are full of lies and false infomation and should not be trusted! Please have a look HERE at our list of recomended dealers to find ones you can trust to deliver the watch you want at a price that is reasonable and of good quality. Col.

greg_r 81 Posted August 21, 2009 Welcome to the board! I agree with every word of what Col said. The first photo looks great because it's a gen - trust me, if you ordered the watch you'd get nothing like that. Try contacting one or two of the dealers on our Trusted Dealer List to see what's available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZyBeR 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks for the heads up guys! So whats a reasonable price to pay for a replica Breitling Montbrilliant Datora SS? Are there many different replica versions out there? I like the design of it but I'm open minded, do you know any other similar watches that are of good quality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Have a look around this site: http://www.jpc8118.com/ lot's of inspiration there. And he is a trusted dealer here, so you won't go far wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 21, 2009 I'm no Breit expert, but I believe there's only one upmarket (i.e. with the 7750 movement rather than quartz or with fake chronos) version of the Datora at present. Josh sells it for about $350, but you may get it cheaper from PrestigeWatchco or Mary (all three are on our dealer list). I should probably mention that the asian 7750 movement can be a little fragile - it's in a fairly reliable configuration in that particular watch and you'll probably get years of good use out of it before you need to get it serviced, but it pays not to hand-wind it and to make sure you don't adjust the date while the time is set between 8pm and 4am. As far as alternatives go, I'm more of a Panerai guy, so I'll let the Breit fans chime in as they may, but most of the Breitling models are available - the Super Avenger, Navitimer and SuperOcean models all seem to have been well replicated.

Luthier 1 Posted August 21, 2009 http://www.jpc8118.com/bl02044-montbrillia...nos-p-2935.html Mary sells this one for about $300 or less, I guess Robert's price will be in the same range. Both dealers are our best ones. Stay away from bullshit sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted August 23, 2009 it reminds me the circle protractor I used in junior maths for calculating angles Actualy it's a circular slide rule for caculating distance/time to waypoint, fuel burn rate, range, rate of climb/descent, estimated time of arrival etc as well as normal mathamatical caculations. Actualy quite usefull if you know how to use it.

Col. good advice - Even a gen navi wouldn't be fun calculating anything in flight CX2, then E6B and if you're on a failing streak.... a mini circular slide rule would be better than a kick in the ass as kinky says, Rob has the deal @ $239 - if you're an existing customer, look into his wholesale pricing and you'll probably get it somewhat cheaper - I think it's a beaut!
